The Week 4 NFL DFS slate will surely be an interesting one, as most weeks tend to be, but there are numerous intriguing spots that project well for some of the game’s biggest stars! Jaxon Smith-Njigba and CeeDee Lamb, yet again, sit atop my NFL DFS WR rankings for Week 4. There’s a lot to sort through, but don’t worry, we've got you covered here at Fantasy Alarm! Not only will you get my top NFL DFS WR picks for Week 4, but I’ll also cover my top fade of the week, some intriguing DFS stacks, and even a contrarian stack if you want to zig where others zag. Without further ado, let’s dive into the NFL DFS WR Coach for Week 4!

NFL DFS Week 4 WR Picks

Garrett Wilson, New York Jets - DraftKings: $6,800 | FanDuel: $7,600

Despite what you saw on Monday Night Football, you can throw the ball against the Bears. Before the Eagles helped the stats for the Chicago passing defense, the Bears had allowed an explosive pass rate that was three percentage points above the league average, and an above-average EPA per dropback, per FantasyPoints Data. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but Geno Smith will do what the Eagles couldn’t!

This matchup projects so well for Wilson, as Wilson has destroyed man coverage and single-high safety looks this season, and those are the calling cards for the Chicago defense. The Bears play man coverage at the third-highest rate in the NFL, and Wilson has an insane 4.06 yards per route run and 1.52 fantasy points per route run, per FantasyPoints Data. The latter of which is the second-best mark in the NFL amongst WRs with at least 10 routes run against man coverage! Against single-high safety looks, Wilson has posted 3.30 yards per route run this season, which is the sixth-best mark amongst WRs with at least 30 routes run versus single-high safeties, per FantasyPoints Data.

Christian Watson, Green Bay Packers - DraftKings: $6,700 | FanDuel: $7,200

Green Bay can’t run the ball, and Tampa Bay’s defense has the second-best rush success rate in the NFL, per FantasyPoints Data. Well, time for Green Bay to continue leaning into its league-high pass rate and pass rate over expectation! Tampa Bay has played single-high safety looks at the second-highest rate in the NFL, per FantasyPoints Data, and guess which Green Bay pass-catcher has been most productive against single-high looks? It is Christian Watson! Watson’s 2.04 yards per route run and 0.28 targets per route run exceed Matthew Golden’s marks, which are 1.43 and 0.24, respectively, per FantasyPoints Data. Watson has a 33.3% target share and 25% first read in the red zone this season, per FantasyPoints Data, and he’s shown a nose for the end zone in 2026.

Parker Washington, Jacksonville Jaguars - DraftKings: $6,500 | FanDuel: $7,100

When Jacksonville plays teams that play man coverage at an above-average rate, lock Parker Washington into your lineup, and carry on. Well, we get that this week, as the Bengals have played man coverage at the seventh-highest rate through three weeks, per FantasyPoints Data. Well, Washington against man coverage in 2026 has notched 3.48 yards per route run and 0.35 targets per route run, per FantasyPoints Data. The Bengals have allowed the third-most fantasy points to slot receivers thus far on the year, and just on his slot reps, Washington has recorded 2.90 yards per route run, 15 yards per reception, and a 129.2 passer rating when targeted.

Rashee Rice, Kansas City Chiefs - DraftKings: $6,400 | FanDuel: $7,500

If Rice was going to cede some of his designed targets to the likes of Kenneth Walker and others, he was going to need to earn targets a bit further down the field. Well, over the last two weeks, he’s done that. He’s still going to get some designed targets, of course, but after a 3.50 average depth of target (aDOT) in Week 1, it’s very, very encouraging to see him post a 7+ aDOT in each of the last two weeks, per FantasyPoints Data. Rice has posted 1.89 yards per route run out of the slot in 2026, and the Raiders have allowed the second-most receiving yards and sixth-most fantasy points per game to slot receivers this year.

 

 

 

Best NFL DFS WR Values for Week 4

Best DraftKings WR Value: Michael Wilson, Arizona Cardinals - DraftKings: $5,500 | FanDuel: $6,200

Wilson’s price on DraftKings will surely jump next week, as DraftKings tends to be about one week behind. Case in point: After 17 targets, Wilson’s price only went up a couple hundred dollars. Wilson doesn’t leave the field (90.5% snap rate, 95.2% route participation rate), and he’s up to a 25.6% target share and team-high (!!!) 35.1% first-read rate, per FantasyPoints Data. Wilson has been great against man coverage this year, and if we go back to the beginning of 2025, Wilson has a strong 2.48 yards per route run against man coverage, per FantasyPoints Data. Let’s hope the Giants can score in this one, so we can see Arizona throw it a bunch on Sunday. Sure, Wilson isn’t the cheapest guy, but $5,500 for a guy with at least seven targets in all three games this year, and an average of just over 10 targets per game for the year, is simply too low.

Honorable Mention: Jordan Addison at $5,300 on DraftKings feels too cheap as well, especially if Justin Jefferson is out or limited in any way.

Best FanDuel WR Value: Chris Bell, Miami Dolphins - DraftKings: $3,700 | FanDuel: $4,900

Caleb Douglas missed last week’s game and didn’t practice at all leading up to Week 3’s tilt against the Chiefs. Against the Chiefs, Bell caught four of seven targets for 67 yards, while playing 71.6% of the snaps and a season-high 64.3% route participation rate, per FantasyPoints Data. If Douglas were to miss this game, Bell should continue to play a lot, and the Vikings have allowed the eighth-most fantasy points per game to outside receivers this season, per FantasyPoints Data. Three-fourths of his routes last week came lined up out wide, and he’s dangerous with the ball, as highlighted by his 0.25 missed tackles forced per reception and 7.83 yards after catch per reception. Per FantasyPoints Data, amongst WRs with at least 10 targets on the year, those marks are in the 93rd and 79th percentile respectively.

Best NFL DFS WR Stacks for Week 4

Best QB/WR Stack

Ja'Marr Chase, Cincinnati Bengals - DraftKings: $8,100 | FanDuel: $9,100

Stack with:

The Jaguars have allowed the highest explosive pass rate in the league at 15.5%, per FantasyPoints Data, and is there a more explosive QB/WR pairing than Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase? He’s put up at least 75 yards and a touchdown in two straight games, and this Jacksonville defense ranks in the bottom-10 in yards per target to both perimeter and slot receivers, per FantasyPoints Data. I like points to be scored in this one, and Chase is the straw that stirs the drink for the Cincinnati passing attack.

Best WR/WR Stack

CeeDee Lamb, Dallas Cowboys - DraftKings: $7,800 | FanDuel: $8,500

Stack with: 

Could we get a Texas shootout? Both teams have an above-average pace, and the Houston Texans have the third-highest explosive rate allowed, per FantasyPoints Data. For different reasons, each of Dallas’ top two spots find themselves in advantageous spots in this matchup.

The Texans play single-high safety looks at the third-highest rate in the NFL, and that bodes well for Pickens, who has a massive 0.54 targets per route run and 3.54 yards per route run against single-high safety looks, per FantasyPoints Data. Pickens also runs nearly all of his routes out wide, and the Texans have allowed the second-most fantasy points per game to perimeter receivers. Also, Pickens being a whole $1,500 cheaper on DraftKings is WILD.

On the other hand, the Texans play zone at a top-seven clip, and CeeDee Lamb has recorded 3.89 yards per route run against zone, per FantasyPoints Data. The middle of the field has been a problem area for Houston so far, and when Lamb gets lined up against Reed Blankenship (127.3 passer rating when targeted), Calen Bullock (102.7 passer rating when targeted), and/or Jalen Pitre, he’s going to dominate.

Best Contrarian Stack

Nico Collins, Houston Texans - DraftKings: $7,200 | FanDuel: $7,400

Stack with:

Collins has missed the last two games due to a hamstring injury, but there’s optimism he returns for this home contest against the Dallas Cowboys. We all know that C.J. Stroud has been better at home than on the road in his career, and the last time we saw Collins, he put up 75 yards and a touchdown on seven receptions (10 targets) in Week 1 against the Bills. Cowboys play single-high safety looks above the league average, and since the start of the 2025 season, Collins has an absurd 3.06 yards per route run against these looks, per FantasyPoints Data. Collins is the only hope the Houston passing attack has, and if he’s out there, he’s going to get peppered with targets, as Stroud will be ecstatic to have a legitimate playmaker out there.

 

 

 

NFL DFS WR Fade for Week 4

Mike Evans, San Francisco 49ers - DraftKings: $6,600 | FanDuel: $7,500

Evans got banged up last week, and we’ll need to keep an eye on his practice participation throughout the week. If he’s good to go, he draws a tough matchup against Patrick Surtain, who has allowed a 60% completion rate, 6.13 yards per target, and a 77.6 passer rating when targeted, all of which are better than the league average, per FantasyPoints Data. The Broncos play man coverage at one of the higher clips in the league, and specifically in man coverage, Surtain has allowed a 39.6 passer rating and 1 yard per target, per FantasyPoints Data. Davante Adams had success against Surtain in Week 3 when Denver went zone, so we’ll see if that’s when San Fran chooses to go at Surtain. Don’t love Evans’ upside in this one; at the price point, there are better options available to us.

NFL DFS Week 4 WR Play of the Week

Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Seattle Seahawks - DraftKings: $9,100 | FanDuel: $9,500

Smith-Njigba is going to be featured in this article every week until further notice. Through three weeks, he has a 37.5% target share, 52.6% air yards share, and a 44.3% first read rate, per FantasyPoints Data. He simply cannot be stopped. JSN can take over a game at any point, and the Chargers have allowed the seventh-most fantasy points per game to perimeter wideouts. He has recorded 5.70 yards per route run against zone coverage this season, and only Zay Flowers has more yards per route run (6.13) than Smith-Njigba (5.11) amongst wideouts with at least 15 routes run against two-high safeties, per FantasyPoints Data. Based on that, as you can likely guess, the Chargers play two-high safeties nearly 10 percentage points higher than the league average. Given that he’s $1,000 more than the 2nd-highest priced receiver on DraftKings, perhaps ownership might be down a bit with him in GPPs.

DraftKings vs. FanDuel WR Picks for Week 4

Between FanDuel and DraftKings, here are a few of the more notable pricing/ranking discrepancies on the two sites. Pickens on DraftKings feels like one of the biggest steals on the slate, and if Puka Nacua were to miss another game, Mumpfield looks like one of the best bargains on the board on DraftKings. That’s something we’ll definitely be monitoring. On the FanDuel side of things, if you are a believer in Nico Collins coming off injury, he’s a nice value there, whereas Chris Bell finds himself outside the top 70 wideouts on FanDuel.
